Ex-Wiccans and Pagans.

Information

Not all of us are ex-Christians, Muslims, or Catholic. If you were once Wiccan, Pagan, Astaru or anything labeled under the Neo-pagan umbrella here is your chance to tell your story.
Tell your stoires here about your experinces with neo-pagans.

Well, not much going on here so I will throw in my shilling's worth. I went straight from Family Traditional Wicca to atheism. (Last October, my wife finally got to me.)

Though I have been peripherally involved with other groups of Wiccans, mostly my practice was solitary in nature (pun, solitary, nature, oh never mind).

I always viewed the ideas of God and Goddess more as archetypes than as real beings, thus letting go of Wicca was not as difficult as I might have imagined. (I still wear my pentacle though, A-it's sliver, B-it still works as a talisman to repel Christian missionaries).

I find here in my new village in Nebraska that the villagers are even less comfortable with the idea I am an atheist than they were with me as a Wiccan (the old "you gotta believe in something" canard).

Until I met my wife, I'd never run into someone who'd rejected the supernatural premises of Wicca, though she still runs a Wiccan-oriented Website (for that matter, I'd not run into very many Wiccans at all, particularly when I was in the Navy)

I would like stories of leaving your religion for my anthology. I am looking for a story about 12 pages give or take. I am including one story for each religion in my book. I am a former muslim and my story will be included as well.

Hi Don! I have a big old Mjolnir tattooed on my left arm, I still wear my pentacle because I like what it represents, I still worship Mother Earth in my respect for the actual planet that supports me. I kind of just dropped the religitardation that accompanies all magical/religious belief systems. I love the old gods as poetry and metaphor.
